Day 123, 242 To Go

May 3, 2013

So Friday has finally arrived.  Work is done and the night is planned.  What to do tonight?

I know, go see Ironman 3!!  Yeah baby!

So, let's get this out of the way...run, run, run...shower...get dressed...let's go Honey!!

Ok, it didn't go exactly like that.  I have 4 kids, so it was more like feed the babies, go run, shower, get the babies ready for bed (change, dress and a bottle...no bath tonight) and then go back in and pick the bottles off the floor (the little bastards always throw the bottle out of the crib...why!!) and then finish getting dressed and go out.

Honey and I went to a Japanese Hibachi restaurant first.  It wasn't too bad, but everything was a tad too salty for my taste.  Next time, we'll try somewhere else.  Not a ton of great restaurants in the Palm Bay/Melbourne area.  You have to travel to Orlando for the good stuff.

I should mention, since I left the house, my right foot was hurting.  It was hurting enough that I couldn't walk without a pronounced limp.  What the hell did I do?  All I know is that I had better take it easy the next few days.  It feels like Plantar Fasciitis and that is not an easy injury to come back from.  So, I did my best Igor impersonation, and dragged my foot the whole night.

Off to the movie.  It was good, but not great.  I'd give it a B-.  I love Robert Downey Jr. as an actor, and he really makes the part better than anyone else could.  The special effects were fantastic, as expected.  As summer approaches, we get more and more of what I like to call "Popcorn Movies."  It's the kind of movie you get a big tub of popcorn and you munch away and enjoy the visual spectacle.  Story, acting & plot need not apply...although it is a nice addition!

Honey hated the movie, and probably even fell asleep during it.  Women.  I suppose she would have liked it is there was a subplot where a guy and a girl HATED each other and spent the entire movie avoiding being with each other only to have some stupid plot point like a fender bender, or perhaps a wedding, or maybe an all night party or some other non event bring them together for a kiss of true love and then they live happily ever after (even though they spent the first two hours of the movie hating each other...what!)  Yeah, a chick flick.  Then she'd be happy. 

Granted, there are good chick flicks, but they are far and few between.  At least with a crappy Popcorn Movie, you get entertained by explosions and action!  A chick flick is nothing without a well written plot, good actors and chemistry...three things you don't often find in any movie, let alone a movie with Hugh Grant in it.

But I digress...

Here are our numbers:

Time: 20:00

Distance: 1.62 miles

Pace: 12:23/m

Max Pace: 10:36/m

Calories: 187

Avg HR: 103

Max HR: 113

Just a nice easy stroll down the street with Honey.  So why does my foot hurt?  Probably because I ran hard yesterday and my body is tired.  Screw you body.  Screw you!

Run for Life!
